The Sephora in Toronto’s Bloor/Yorkville neighbourhood recently moved to a new, bigger location a block or so east. I have to admit that I was excited about the move – a bigger spot means more room for products, right? After all, I’m pretty much a Sephora addict – I’ve been a VIBRouge for at least […]
Like many women, I have way too many lip glosses/lipsticks/lip balms. But then again, like many women, I also have more than one bag, and it’s just convenient to have “too many” lip colours so I would always have something in a bag. Thus, when Maybelline New York’s Canadian PR company sent me an email […]
I recently had the chance to try Garnier Clean + For Sensitive Skin, a make-up remover that I received from Garnier Canada for review purposes. The product, which does not contain alcohol, dyes or fragrances which can strip away moisture or irritate skin, removes more make-up (including eye make-up) with the same amount than my […]
It’s time to make a shopping wish list. It’s not for back-to-school, since I don’t have kids and am only taking one continuing education course online (I graduated from university more than 10 years ago), but for beauty products. It’s nearly fall, after all, and time to replenish some favourites and maybe even […]
Canadian beauty brand, Annabelle Cosmetics held a launch party at Arcadian Loft last night to introduce its new brand ambassador, actress Shanae Grimes-Beech, best known for her roles on Degrassi and 90210. The event, attended by beauty bloggers, beauty retailers, make-up artists and just about anyone connected with the industry was mostly a mix and […]
Spring is coming up. Many women take advantage of the new season to revamp their look. Some might buy new, stylish clothes to mix with the classics in their closet. Others look into accessories. For me, it is definitely beauty. It is out with the heavy, intense looks of fall and winter and in with […]
Those who know me know that I have a love-hate relationship with Jezebel, the women’s interest site on celebrity gossip that often puts a feminist twist on issues (though usually one-sided, which is why I have “issues”). On Sunday night, a post called “Please, Don’t Tell Me that I Look Better Without Make-up” went live. […]
It looks like Kiehl’s has finally joined in to last year’s beauty crazy, BB Cream ($36 CDN). Launched earlier this year, the product boasts a high SPF at 50, higher than most brands, which are typically 25 to 30, has Vitamin C and is available in four shades, according to the US website: fair, fair/light, […]
As promised on Instagram, I am reviewing Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Lust for Lacquer lip vinyl. These glosses come in sheer and “full,” with six shades each, in reds, pinks, browns and purples. I was nervous about the fuller shades as I really don’t like bold colours on my lips. However, because of the glossy nature […]
It’s finally here! I actually thought the line debuted a day earlier, but arrived at a store finding that a shelf was blocked off. Then I checked the website, and found out the launch date was August 9. Anyway, on August 9, I walked into Sephora and there they were. An area full of beauty […]
